We are interested in understanding how the brain works. We research
perception, action, cognition, and basic theoretical issues from a neural
perspective. Most of this research is carried out by building large-scale
models (usually simulating single neurons) of various brain areas. The main
software tool we use and develop for this purpose is
Nengo. The book How to build a brain, which
summarizes much of our recent work, is now available at
Amazon.
We are currently offering the
Nengo summer school
on how to use Nengo to build large-scale brain models.

You can download our recent
Science paper called "A large-scale model of the functioning brain", or any of
our other publications.
